Details:

Park at Conham River Car Park, pick up your boards and head through the woods to Beese’s Ferry Crossing. Here is the perfect location to put in and take out, giving you access to paddle the Avon up (east) towards Hanham Lock and Weir, or down (west) towards Bristol City Centre. Ensure you have your waterways licence to paddle here, and if you plan to paddle past Netham Lock into Bristol Harbour, be sure to contact the Harbour Master’s Office first and be aware you will be subject to a charge of £7 per craft by the Bristol Harbour Office.
